TwinFocus

What TwinFocus does

TwinFocus (legal entity: Twin Focus Capital Partners, LLC) is a Boston-based, SEC-registered boutique multifamily office and private investment firm founded in 2006 by twin brothers Paul Karger and Wes Karger. The firm serves a concentrated client base of global ultra-high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and executives, professional investors, multi-generational families, and select institutions, with reported assets under advisement of $11B+ as of December 31, 2025. Its service surface spans Family Office Management, Investment Services, Direct Investments, Real Estate Advisory, M&A Advisory, and Responsible Investing, delivered through a 'total balance sheet approach' that integrates investment management with tax, estate, philanthropic, family governance, and intergenerational planning. The firm operates partner-led with a 40+ person professional team holding CFA, CFP, CPA, CAIA, JD, LLM, MBA, and PhD credentials, including a recently appointed CIO and Global Investment Strategist (David Daglio).

The technology backbone uses Microsoft's enterprise stack (Microsoft 365, Azure, Azure Active Directory, Mimecast, Teams), a dedicated TwinFocus Real Estate portal (realestate.twinfocusrealty.com), and the Addepar client portal (addepar.com) for portfolio reporting. TwinFocus describes proprietary in-house investment data systems enhanced with large alternative datasets, including NielsenIQ, used for manager due diligence, macro research, and direct investment sourcing. An affiliated operating entity, TF Realty Partners, LLC (dba TwinFocus Real Estate Partners), extends the platform into patient-capital real estate co-investments, while the TwinFocus Foundation formalizes the firm's philanthropic and community-engagement activity.

Revenue is generated predominantly through asset-based advisory fees typical of the multifamily office model, layered with episodic M&A advisory, real estate advisory, and co-investment economics from TF Realty Partners. Pricing is bespoke and undisclosed publicly, with detail available via the firm's ADV Disclosure Brochure; no productized or self-serve channel exists. Distribution is entirely partner-led and referral-driven, with client acquisition happening through direct conversation, referrals, thought-leadership content, and earned media (e.g., Reuters features in 2026), and no institutional fundraising, outside capital, or productized SaaS offering. The firm has no parent company, no disclosed external ownership, and no private equity or strategic investor backing, with growth funded entirely from operating economics.
